The scandal of the UK Database State has become an election issue for everyone of all colours, creed, religion and occupation. The vast majority of voters are a unified opposing force against the UK government’s data retention policies. These databases have become the corrosive civil liberties canker ravaging the face of Britain. Over two-thirds of Britons no longer trust the government with their personal data. The polls are currently predicting a Hung Parliament. The databases and data retention are an election issue on which all politicians may well hang high, together with their fraudulent expenses. Bring it on. Perhaps this predicted vote of no confidence in any particular political party will sufficiently shake up our system to deliver privacy and civil liberty results for the electorate. Jane Bryant, Director, The One Click Group * Doctors Call For Halt To NHS Patients' Database  Doctors' leaders have called for a halt in the development of a medical records database for patients in England. Some people are not aware that they are getting these records. Hamish Meldrum, chairman of the BMA, said: "Patients' right to opt out is crucial, and it is extremely alarming that records are apparently being created without them being aware of it." One Click Note: For the convenience of our UK readers we publish the Opt Out Form. Download it, print it, send it to your doctor and you will be protected from your private medical details being accessed by approximately 300,000 people in the UK and therefore the entire world.

If so, you will probably have a computer record on Britain’s National DNA Database. The Government is currently keeping innocent people’s records on the DNA database illegally. At least 900,000 innocent people who have been arrested in England, Wales or Northern Ireland are thought to have their DNA and computer records retained. If you are concerned about how the Government might misuse this information, or fail to keep it safe, you can use this website to help you get your computer records deleted and your DNA destroyed. If you take action now you can make a difference to what happens to your DNA and help to change the law. Information Release, Reclaim Your DNA * Labour Government's Internet Law Threatens Free Speech  Do you use the internet while you're out and about? Maybe you access the public wifi in the library or your local coffee shop. Or you check out Facebook or YouTube at the station on the way to work. Don't get used to it. Because by this summer, public wifi in the UK may be a thing of the past, thanks to a new piece of law being pushed through by the Government's Lord Mandelson. The Digital Economy Bill passed through its third reading by the House of Lords last week and looks set to become law before the general election. Side-effects of the bill could lead to places with public wifi, such as libraries and cafes, facing prosecution if someone uses their service. "This is going to be a very unfortunate measure for small businesses," said Lilian Edwards, professor of internet law at Sheffield University. Iain Hepburn, Daily Record * Severe Weaknesses Found In USA Biodefense Lab Safety  The U.S. Army should fine-tune its procedures for determining safety risks in its projects following slip-ups in plans for the new site of the U.S. Army Medical Research Institute of Infectious Diseases at Fort Detrick, Md., a National Academy of Sciences committee said in a report issued Thursday (see GSN, Sept. 23, 2009). The Army provided insufficient evidence to back its conclusion that a release of the Ebola and Q-fever agents from the new facility would pose no threat to residences and commercial sites in Fredrick, a community numbering roughly 59,000 people. In addition, the Army did not explore possible security threats posed by laboratory personnel. The panel's decision to allow work on the facility to move forward was "unconscionable," said Robert Kozak, an activist with the Fort Detrick Watchdog Group.

Iceland could become the antidote to tax havens: a journalism paradise and an ideal environment for Internet-based international media and publishers to register their services, start-ups, data centers and human rights organizations. "The Icelandic Modern Media Initiative addresses the key issues for free expression in the digital age, and may yet be the catalyst for the kind of legislative reforms that all 21st Century democracies will need," says Index on Censorship. See Al-Jazeera's take on Iceland's proposed media safe haven. One Click Note: This simply excellent proposed Icelandic Modern Media Initiative (IMMI) to protect journalists, bloggers and the entire internet is set to create a ripple effect from Iceland outwards to promote Free Speech around the world. Support IMMI. This good news is THE MUST READ OF THE MONTH. Information Release, Icelandic Modern Media Initiative * US Supreme Court To Consider Vaccination Lawsuit  AFP - The US Supreme Court has agreed to consider whether the parents of a child who suffered serious health problems after being vaccinated can sue a pharmaceutical company for compensation. The case, which the highest US court will hear in autumn, will serve as a focal point in a years-long debate in the United States over the effectiveness of preventive vaccines and whether they have caused health problems. It involves Hannah Bruesewitz, who was left developmentally impaired after receiving a diphtheria, tetanus and pertussis vaccination. AFP, France 24 * Law Firm Instructed Over Tuberculosis Vaccine Baby Overdose  An investigation is under way after a newborn baby was given 10 times the normal dose of a tuberculosis vaccine at Scunthorpe General Hospital. Law firm Irwin Mitchell, has been instructed to act on behalf of the baby's parents. David Body, a medical law specialist at the firm, said: "It is unclear how many people have been affected but we have received reports that others may also have been given the same overdose. This case raises important questions about basic systems in hospitals to ensure the safe administration of drugs, including vaccines." BBC News * Dutch Government Wants To Sell Swine Flu Vaccines Back  The Dutch government wants to sell 21 million unused H1N1 flu vaccine doses back to their manufacturers after they proved unnecessary and no other country wanted to buy them, the Health Ministry said on Saturday. A spokeswoman for the ministry said it had approached manufacturers GlaxoSmithKline and Novartis about buying back the doses. She added that it was not clear what their total value was. She also declined comment on the status of the talks, saying the ministry would inform parliament of the details at a later date. Ben Berkowitz, Amsterdam, Reuters Related Links: * The men who made a killing out of swine flu while we wasted £1bn and were exposed to harmful drugs SPECIAL INVESTIGATION Tom Rawstorne, Daily Mail * Swine Flu Regret For U.S. - Vaccine Chaos  Dr Meryl Nass, MD Getting the U.S. public to roll up their sleeves and get vaccinated was definitely one of the biggest challenges to managing the pandemic of H1N1 swine flu, speaker after speaker agreed at a conference on influenza regrets. "We can't ever be in a situation again where we have a countermeasure that half the public won't accept," Dr. Nicole Lurie, who heads preparedness at the Health and Human Services Department said. This article sounds like a segue into mandatory pandemic vaccines--stay tuned. Dr Meryl Nass, MD * New Zealand Calls To Shelve Vaccine Over Adverse Reactions  Girls given the Gardasil HPV vaccine are at least 16 times more likely to have a serious adverse reaction to it than to develop terminal cervical cancer, which critics say raise doubts about the increasingly controversial vaccine. Information released under the Official Information Act shows the death rate for cervical cancer between 2002 and 2005 was 1.95 deaths per 100,000 women. This compares with 31 serious adverse reactions for the 90,000 girls who have been vaccinated with Gardasil so far. The reactions include the death of an 18-year-old woman in September 2009, and reports of epilepsy, Bells Palsy and collapses.

Invective after diatribe after vilification. If it’s not me they are attacking then it is anyone else who dares to disagree with their diktats. The new fundamentalists rarely, if ever, think about the patient. That is not surprising. Most are not doctors. They seem not to have grasped the central fact about long-term conditions. They are long-term precisely because there is no treatment – EBM or otherwise – that will cure them. Data exists that indicates the effects of homeopathy may be real. For instance, in this month's International Journal of Oncology, the lead scientist from one of the most reputable cancer centres in the world has confirmed the ability of four homeopathic remedies to bring about programmed cell death in breast cancer cell lines in the laboratory. Evidence based medicine is not the cure-all it is made out to be. If ever there were snake-oil salesmen, it is those who claim it is. Dr Michael Dixon, PULSE Related Links: * Patients' Voice Purposefully Excluded From Homeopathy Kangaroo Court Press Release, Alliance of Registered Homeopaths * Doctors Say NHS Database Raises Privacy Fears  Doctors' leaders are warning government ministers that the NHS is jeopardising its relationship of trust with patients by creating a vast database of personal medical records. GPs say they fear patients' rights are being overlooked, that "scaremongering" is being used to get people's agreement for the database, and that hackers could illegally access the central computer. Prof Ross Anderson, a security expert at Cambridge University, said, "You just can't keep a secret if 300,000 people have access to it. All celebrities should definitely opt out ... the sort of things you can find on SCRs, such as prescriptions for anti-retroviral drugs, can also be highly stigmatising." James Sturcke & Denis Campbell, The Guardian * FOI Documents Reveal Multiple Leaks And Spills At National Virus BioLab  Health Canada documents obtained through an access-to-information request reveal close to 250 internal incidents — ranging from equipment failures to potential chemical exposures — were reported in the lab between 2005 and 2009. The incidents range in severity and include benign finger cuts, potential exposures to chemicals and viruses such as avian influenza, and equipment failures in Level 3 and 4 containment labs. Scientific director Dr. Frank Plummer admitted that "sometimes we've had a door break on the access to a Level 4 lab." New Democrat MP Pat Martin, said: "I'm quite taken aback that there's been that number of incidents when we've been assured a state-of-the-art facility has state-of-the-art protocols." Jen Skerritt, Vancouver Sun * Veteran Affairs Agree To Review Gulf War Illness Claims  Unable to ignore the sheer number of complaints, the Department of Veterans Affairs has decided to revisit the disability claims of thousands of veterans of the Gulf War. According to advocacy group Veterans for Common Sense, more than 200,000 military personnel who served in the 1990-1991 conflict have reported multisymptom illnesses. The VA’s Gulf War Veterans’ Illnesses Task Force has been conducting a comprehensive examination of health problems affecting veterans and may soon recommend new policies for how the department should handle such cases.

Information Release, ILADS * Birmingham Family Relentlessly Abused By Social Services  Shahnaz Malik was accused of cuddling Amaani for too long SOCIAL WORKERS have placed the five-year-old daughter of a professional couple on the child protection register for “emotional abuse” after the mother told the girl she was delivered by caesarean. The intervention by Birmingham social services prompted the mother, Shahnaz Malik, to go into hiding with her daughter, Amaani, for two months, fearing the girl would be taken away. “This whole case is madness as there is no reason for the state to be involved in this little girl’s life in this way,” said John Hemming, a Birmingham MP who campaigns against abuses by the family courts. “The problem is that the system is using massive aggression to deal with the mother’s refusal to respond to a set of frankly silly concerns.” Daniel Foggo, Sunday Times * Shocking Doctors And Shameful Practices UK  Alarming but true is the revelation that pathways to work companies are making money by creaming and parking disabled claimants. These shameful and cynical practices are almost certainly breaking the law. Back in the only slightly less weird world of ordinary benefits claims, we're getting delighted feedback from members who have used our guides to get excellent DLA awards for chronic fatigue syndrome/ME.

Steve Donnison, Benefits & Work * Back to the Future: Parental Concerns About Vaccine Safety  The results of a 2009 survey evaluating the vaccine safety concerns of American parents was recently published in the journal Pediatrics. More than half were worried about serious adverse health effects of vaccination. During the past three decades, NVIC has worked with non-profit advocacy organizations in the U.S. and around the world that have raised public awareness about health and vaccination and are defending informed, voluntary vaccine decision making. Several deserve special mention at this time, including: Canada's Vaccination Risk Awareness Network (VRAN), The Australian Vaccination Network (AVN), Vaccination News and The One Click Group, founded in 2003 in the United Kingdom by Jane Bryant. Jane is the mother of a son, whose health was severely compromised by vaccination. The online News on One Click newsletter is one of the largest international sources of online information on vaccination and other health issues. Parents around the world should get involved and actively support parent-led vaccine information advocacy organizations working to preserve informed, voluntary vaccine decision making. Barbara Loe Fisher, National Vaccine Information Center * Microsoft's Bill Gates Promotes Vaccine Eugenics  F. William Engdahl Microsoft founder and one of the world’s wealthiest men, Bill Gates, projects an image of a benign philanthropist using his billions via his (tax exempt) Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, to tackle diseases, solve food shortages in Africa and alleviate poverty. In a recent conference in California, Gates reveals a less public agenda of his philanthropy—population reduction, otherwise known as eugenics. In plain English, one of the most powerful men in the world states clearly that he expects vaccines to be used to reduce population growth. The programs in Africa and elsewhere are masked as philanthropy and providing health services for poor Africans. In reality they involve involuntary population sterilization via vaccination and other medicines that make women of child-bearing age infertile. Health experts point out that were the intent of Gates really to improve the health and well-being of black Africans, the same hundreds of millions of dollars the Gates Foundation has invested in untested and unsafe vaccines could be used in providing minimal sanitary water and sewage systems. F. William Engdahl, Author * Teenager Paralysed From Swine Flu Vaccine  CECIL COUNTY, Md. -- A 16-year-old boy in Maryland was paralyzed from the chest down after getting the H1N1 flu vaccine at school, a doctor said. In December, Robert Beckham lost feeling in both his legs and was rushed to Baltimore's Sinai Hospital, Baltimore station WBAL reported. Transverse mylitis is a disease that can occur after infection, but in this case, Shafrir said it was a medically unpredictable reaction to a vaccination that's being given in schools all over the country. "If he had received the regular flu vaccine, the family would be able to file a claim with the National Vaccine Injury Compensation Program," said attorney Clifford Shoemaker. "But because it was the swine flu program, which falls under the same bill as terrorism … the family will get very little in compensation for what's happened to this child."

William Engdahl, Market Oracle * Vaccines Making Our Dogs Ill As Vets Cash In  Aggressive: Charlie the spaniel with owner Niki Davis Vaccines given to dogs are making them ill, a pet charity claimed yesterday. Profit-hungry drug companies and vets are frightening dog owners into inoculating their pets more often than necessary. Catherine O'Driscoll, from Canine Health Concern, said: "We are not anti-vaccination. What we are saying is that currently our pets are receiving far too many." Some puppies have developed conditions including autism and epilepsy after a raft of injections, it warns. Some have suffered dramatic changes in behaviour or been diagnosed with cancer within months of the injection. In a letter backed by 17 vets and other pet experts, the charity has called on the Veterinary Medicines Directorate, which monitors animal vaccines, to issue new advice on their use.

Consultant paediatrician Dr Sabah Al-Zayyat has failed to contact her legal team since leaving the UK last month - a day before the hearing was due to start - feeling "suicidal". But a General Medical Council (GMC) fitness to practise panel ruled today that proceeding in her absence could contravene Dr Al-Zayyat's human rights. Thursday's GMC panel ruling found that the doctor made a "rational" decision to leave the country to "avoid the extreme pressures associated with the hearing".

In the world's first successful class action against the makers of the drug, judges found the subsidiary of the US pharmaceutical giant Merck had failed in its duty of care by not warning doctors about health risks. The case raises awkward questions about why hundreds of British victims remain without compensation six years after health problems associated with Vioxx were uncovered. In Britain, a legal aid application by potential litigants has been turned down, reportedly after Merck lobbied government ministers, including the former health minister, Ivan Lewis, who had promised in parliament to assist them. Yesterday's ruling in the Australian court follows a £2bn settlement in America over claims brought by 44,000 claimants who blamed the drug for cardiovascular problems. Even more serious for Merck are the global implications. Kathy Marks & Robert Verkaik, The Independent * UK Social Services Vindictively Wreck Family Life  Megan Coote, 21, with her daughter, Olivia, at their home in Los Montesinos, where they fled to avoid the child being taken into care The Spanish authorities have made a dramatic intervention in the case of a British couple who fled to Spain to stop social services taking their son into care. But on Wednesday their worst fears were realised when Spanish officials, acting on information from Suffolk social services, arrived at the hospital where Mrs Smith was still breastfeeding two-week-old Jim Junior. The baby is now in the care of Spanish foster parents. Tim Yeo, the couple’s MP, demanded that Suffolk County Council provide the legal ground on which they passed “completely unfounded allegations” to the Spanish. “It is a very questionable form of intervention by British social services,” he said. “In what I view as a vindictive way they have chased this couple a thousand miles away to try to inflict yet more distress.” Alice Fishburn, The Times * Black Voters Hold Election Power Over DNA Database  Black-led churches were called on this week to use their political strength in the run-up to the General Election to stop the country’s black community from being criminalised by the collection of members’ DNA on a national database. The British Government has been ordered by the European Court of Human Rights not to hold the DNA of innocent people indefinitely. Director of Black Mental Health UK, Matilda MacAttram, said that it was “an election issue. If you are on the database, you are considered as a criminal.” Caribbeans held the balance of power in 70 marginal seats, she said. “We need to use our vote based on who will serve us best.” Olu Alake, a member of the Equality and Human Rights Commission, and president of 100 Black Men of London, who chaired the meeting, said that DNA sampling had given young black men “something really to be angry about”.

Speaking at a House of Commons home affairs select committee meeting earlier this year, Sir Alec said England and Wales should follow Scotland's lead, where police only retain the DNA profiles of innocent people under specific circumstances, with those accused of sexual assaults having their profiles held for a maximum of five years. BBC News * German High Court Rules Against Data Retention  The highest court in Germany has suspended a controversial law in Europe requiring phone and e-mail providers to hold customer data for six months in case it's needed by law enforcement. Germany's Federal Constitution Court called the law "inadmissable" and ruled that changes would be needed to limit its scope. The German court found that the law, as implemented, went beyond the intent of the original directive and has ordered all customer data to be removed immediately. Lance Whitney, Cnet News * Irish Health Minister Joins Pharma Swine Flu Flying Pigs Club  Michael McGimpsey Health Minister accused of swine flu ‘overreaction’ Stormont's Health Minister has been accused of overreacting to the swine flu scare after it emerged that a further £16m of emergency funding has gone unspent. Finance Minister Sammy Wilson said his executive colleague Michael McGimpsey should have scrutinised scientists' advice about the pandemic alert more rigorously before asking for the money from Government coffers. The DUP representative said some elements of the scientific community had their own agenda for over-stating the scale of certain crises. “Ministers when they are faced with a crisis should scrutinise any advice they are given as rigorously as possible to make sure that they are not overreacting,” he said.

Annual assessments being introduced next year to maintain standards of medical competency will include whether doctors are immunised against common serious communicable diseases. This would include infections such as tuberculosis, hepatitis B and rubella but also could include seasonal flu. In the 2008-09 winter flu season, fewer than one in seven frontline NHS staff had a flu jab. One Click Note: During the Swine Flu Hoax, British doctors were bribed millions of pounds by the government to vaccinate patients against this mild illness whilst they wisely refused the vaccine for themselves and their families. If the risible GMC force compulsory vaccination on doctors, many will vote with their feet and leave the profession. This GMC plan will be the most resounding no confidence vote on vaccines ever delivered by the medical profession.

Note: and everywhere else for that matter]. An investigation by Weekend Business has revealed that the health industry, which spans everything from pharmaceutical companies, hospitals, pharmacy chains, general practitioners and health insurance companies, spends millions of dollars a year buying political access and influence, through lobbying, hiring former government staffers both internally and externally, issuing ads and making grassroots campaign contributions. Jerrold Cripps, QC, who recently ended his five-year term at the Independent Commission Against Corruption, made a parting shot that political donations and lobbying by former MPs and ministers ''are activities that are unmistakably conducive to corrupt conduct''. Drug pushing is a high-risk game.

Weighing the data, they conclude that there is insufficient evidence to indicate that flu vaccines reduce infection rates or mortality, even in the elderly. We have studies that claim up to 90% effectiveness against death from all causes [in inoculated patients compared with the non-vaccinated]. If you were to believe that evidence, you would believe that flu vaccine is effective against death not only from influenza, but also from heart attack, stroke, hypothermia, accidents and all other common causes of death among the elderly.

New research suggests that a bacterial or viral infection could cause the immune system to overreact, triggering the condition. Sufferers experience difficulty walking or speaking and there is currently no known cure for the disease. MS is caused by the destruction of myelin, a fatty protective sheath surrounding the body's central nervous system. The new research suggests that in these people the body’s own defences then go on to destroy their myelin.

When MRI research science forced an end to this lucrative charlatanism, the type for which psychiatry is notorious down the ages, inroads are now finally being made into the causes of this illness.Kate Devlin, Daily Telegraph * Spain Refuge - Deadly Incompetent British Social Services Strike Again  The Smiths' baby son was born in Spain, where the parents had fled after their other child had been taken into care by social workers Pregnant British woman Megan Coote, 21, is one of two British women who have escaped to Spain after threats by Suffolk social services to remove their babies. Tim Yeo, the couple’s MP, suggested in Parliament that Suffolk social workers acted in the Smith case in a manner “sometimes tantamount to child kidnapping”, as a direct result of the Professor Roy Meadow 'Munchausen Syndrome By Proxy' theory, now entirely discredited. Mr Yeo continued: “It’s a tragedy that loving couples should have to flee Britain to feel safe to bring up their own baby. It’s a terrible situation for any family and rather a serious indictment of the way the system of support is operating.” Alice Fishburn, The Times / The One Click Group Related Links: * Second Baby P Case Buried By Haringey Social Services Andrew Gilligan, Daily Telegraph UK * Cervical Cancer Vaccine Blinds 16 Year-Old Girl  We report the course of a 16-year-old girl who presented with near complete visual loss associated with chiasmal neuritis and a biopsy proven tumefactive demyelinating lesion on magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in association with a recent immunization against human papilloma virus.

| Doctors Call For Halt To NHS Patients' Database | ||
One Click Note: For the convenience of our UK readers, we publish the Opt Out Form. Download it, print it, send it to your doctor and you will be protected from your private medical details being accessed by approximately 300,000 people in the UK and therefore the entire world. There is no such thing as secure personal data.  NEWS 10 March 2010 Calls to halt England NHS patient database development Summary Care Records are central to the NHS computer upgrade in England Doctors' leaders have called for a halt in the development of a medical records database for patients in England. The British Medical Association says the computer-based Summary Care Records are being set up at "break-neck speed", sometimes without patients' knowledge. Ministers have expressed surprise at fears of fast change after previous criticism that it was moving slowly. The NHS IT upgrade will link more than 30,000 GPs to nearly 300 hospitals through an online appointments system. It will also feature a centralised medical records system for 50 million patients, e-prescriptions and faster computer network links. But the plans have received repeated criticism over security fears and a lack of enthusiasm among doctors for the technology. Doctors' leaders have written to the government calling for parts of the programme to be suspended. "If the process continues to be rushed, not only will the rights of patients be damaged, but the limited confidence of the public and the medical profession in NHS IT will be further eroded," said Hamish Meldrum, BMA Chairman. In a letter to Health Minister Mike O'Brien, the British Medical Association called for further independent evaluation of pilot schemes set up to test the system. Summary Care Records are central to the NHS computer upgrade in England, which is the biggest healthcare IT programme in the world. The basic record includes information on allergies, medication and adverse reactions. Further details may be added over time. Patients are told by letter before their details go on the system, giving them the chance to opt out. In December, the Department of Health announced that the roll-out of the records system would be accelerated. To date, more than 1.25 million records have gone on the database and the process is speeding up. The BMA say this is happening too fast. 'Huge concern' It says some people are not aware that they are getting these records. It also argues that opting out should be easier. Hamish Meldrum, chairman of the BMA, said the "break-neck speed" with which this programme is being implemented is of "huge concern". He added: "Patients' right to opt out is crucial, and it is extremely alarming that records are apparently being created without them being aware of it. "If the process continues to be rushed, not only will the rights of patients be damaged, but the limited confidence of the public and the medical profession in NHS IT will be further eroded." However, the government says the process to opt out is already straightforward. It also argues that the BMA has supported similar schemes in Scotland and Wales. ************* Related Links: * Opt Out Form NHS Patient Database * Doctors Say NHS Database Raises Privacy Fears James Sturcke & Denis Campbell, The Guardian ************* |

| Labour Government's Internet Law Threatens Free Speech | ||
Mar 10 2010 Internet law 'threatens free speech' Why public wifi could be a thing of the past in the UK thanks to draconian new law By Iain Hepburn DO you use the internet while you're out and about? Maybe you access the public wifi in the library or your local coffee shop. Or you check out Facebook or YouTube at the station on the way to work. Don't get used to it. Because by this summer, public wifi in the UK may be a thing of the past, thanks to a new piece of law being pushed through by the Government. The Digital Economy Bill passed through its third reading by the House of Lords last week and looks set to become law before the general election. Set up by Lord Mandelson last year, it was devised to regulate age ratings for video games, set out the digital radio switchover timetable and combat piracy of music and videos online, among other things. But side-effects of the bill could lead to places with public wifi, such as libraries and cafes, facing prosecution if someone uses their service to share files illegally, even if they didn't know about it. It has become a battle between those trying to reform copyright on the internet and the industry seeking to protect the money they make from songs, films and TV. The bill has received the celebrity endorsement of Simon Cowell, author Sir Terry Pratchett, Bourne Supremacy director Paul Greengrass and others from the film, TV and music industries. They put their names to an open letter backing the bill, saying: "The Digital Economy Bill will ensure that British creators, entertainment companies and the 1.8million people who work in and around the cultural sector are respected and rewarded in the future as they have been in the past. "Digital entertainment services are beginning to take off but for these new business models to develop, it is critical more is done to prevent the illegal services providing easy access to free content." But internet campaigners have branded the bill's powers draconian and warned it could have a serious impact on people's web access. "People's rights are at stake," warned Jim Killock, executive director of the Open Rights Group. "The bill doesn't require any test of evidence before harsh punishments are imposed on people accused of copyright infringement, and opens the door to a ratcheting-up of unwarranted powers without democratic scrutiny. "There is a massive swell of action against this bill, led by creators, citizens and people working in digital industries, who are outraged by this attempt by old businesses to hijack our rights." Campaigners are worried about issues including: Being banned from the internet if you're found downloading films and music - even if someone has hijacked your web connection to do it without your knowledge. Websites such as Facebook, Google and YouTube facing a High Court ban because of illegal content on them. An end to public wifi provision because libraries, airports, stations and cafes have been told they are not exempt from the proposals - meaning they face prosecution and thousands of pounds worth of fines should their wifi service be found to have been used to share or download illegal material. Experts warn that the terms of the bill would make it impossible for small businesses, universities or similar places to offer wifi - even with password protection. "This is going to be a very unfortunate measure for small businesses, " said Lilian Edwards, professor of internet law at Sheffield University. "Even if they password protect, they then have two options - to pay someone like The Cloud to manage it for them, or take responsibility themselves for becoming an ISP effectively, and keep records for everyone they assign connections to, which is an impossible burden for a small cafe." Things get worse thanks to an amendment in the bill, approved earlier this month, which will allow the High Court to order internet service providers to block websites that host "substantial" amounts of copyright-infringing content. Although aimed at illegal torrent websites, it would also include video-sharing sites such as YouTube, where much of the content uploaded by users comes from sources they don't own the copyright for. Internet providers would be required to keep a list of those illegally sharing files or material on the internet, which could then see them face a fine or possible disconnection from the web. Lib Dem Lord Clement, who was behind the amendment, said: "I believe this is going to send a powerful message to our creative industries that we value what they do, that we want to protect what they do, that we do not believe in censoring the internet but we are responding to genuine concerns." But campaigners warn this would be open to abuse in a similar way to controversial legislation in the US, which has been accused of letting companies have material they dislike online taken down by claiming it's breaching copyright. "This would open the door to a massive imbalance of power in favour of large copyright-holding companies," warned Killock. What the long-term effects of the bill will be remains to be seen. However, the rush to get it through Parliament before the forthcoming election means it could become law as early as the end of April - meaning a summer of doubt awaits the UK's internet industry. |

| Severe Weaknesses Found In USA Biodefense Lab Safety | ||
Global Security Newswire March 5, 2010 Weaknesses Found in Safety Assessment of Planned Biodefense Lab The U.S. Army should fine-tune its procedures for determining safety risks in its projects following slip-ups in plans for the new site of the U.S. Army Medical Research Institute of Infectious Diseases at Fort Detrick, Md., a National Academy of Sciences committee said in a report issued Thursday (see GSN, Sept. 23, 2009). Despite shortcomings the report's authors found in the planned $680 million facility's environmental impact statement, they stopped short of recommending that planners rework the blueprint, which could have delayed progress on the 800-acre site. The laboratory -- slated to begin operating in 2014 -- would still incorporate safety features not available at the current USAMRIID location, which still meets or surpasses existing safety standards, according to the report. The Army provided insufficient evidence to back its conclusion that a release of the Ebola and Q-fever agents from the new facility would pose no threat to residences and commercial sites in Fredrick, a community numbering roughly 59,000 people, according to an NAS statement. The service did not adequately assess personal risk of contamination or disease contraction, nor did it address exposure risks for workers within the new laboratory, according to the report. The military's assessment also failed to evaluate other potential sites for the new facility, although U.S. lawmakers mandated that it be located at Fort Detrick, the panel said. In addition, the Army did not explore possible security threats posed by laboratory personnel, the committee stated. A U.S. Justice Department investigation pinned blame for the 2001 anthrax mailings on Bruce Ivins, a former USAMRIID microbiologist who killed himself in 2008 (see GSN, Feb. 26). The panel's decision to allow work on the facility to move forward was "unconscionable," said Robert Kozak, an activist with the Fort Detrick Watchdog Group. The organization might file suit in a bid to force the Army to rework its environmental report on the facility, Kozak added. "We'd have to find the money to do it, but that is the next step," he said. "We need to have the risks addressed and mitigated very transparently," said Beth Willis, a member of the group Frederick Citizens for Biolab Safety. Maj. Gen. James Gilman, the site's commander, asserted that Fort Detrick is committed to safety. However, the NAS panel correctly observed that the laboratory complex must better communicate its "relentless focus" on safety to the neighboring area, he said in a press release (David Dishneau, Associated Press/San Francisco Examiner, March 4). ************* Related Links: * FOI Documents Reveal Multiple Leaks And Spills At National Virus BioLab Jen Skerritt, Vancouver Sun ************* |

| Iceland - Proposed Free Speech / Investigative Journalism Safe Haven | ||
One Click Note: This simply excellent proposed Icelandic Modern Media Initiative (IMMI) to protect journalists, bloggers and the entire internet is set to create a ripple effect from Iceland outwards to promote Free Speech around the world. Thanks are due to Wikileaks and many others for becoming involved in this initiative. Support IMMI. This good news is the Must Read Of The Month. Icelandic Modern Media InitiativeIntroduction Al-Jazeera's take on Iceland's proposed media safe haven The 'hearts and minds' of Operation Moshtarak - Part 2 "The Icelandic Modern Media Initiative addresses the key issues for free expression in the digital age, and may yet be the catalyst for the kind of legislative reforms that all 21st Century democracies will need." —Index on Censorship "I am proud to advise the Icelandic Modern Media Initiative's proposal to create a global safe haven for investigative journalism. I believe this proposal is a strong way of encouraging integrity and responsive government around the world, including in Iceland. In my work investigating corruption I have seen how important it is to have have robust mechanisms to get information out to the public. Iceland, with its fresh perspectives and courageous, independent people seems to be the perfect place to initiate such an effort towards global transparency and justice." —Eva Joly MEP Iceland is at a unique crossroads. Because of an economic meltdown in the banking sector, a deep sense is among the nation that a fundamental change is needed in order to prevent such events from taking place again. At such times it is important to seek a collective future vision and take a course that will bring the nation and the parliament closer together. On February 17th a parliamentary resolution will be filed at the Icelandic parliament suggesting that Iceland will position itself legally with regard to the protection of freedoms of expression and information. This suggestion for a future vision has sparked great enthusiasm both within the parliament and among those it has been introduced to. According to Reporters Sans Frontiers (RSF), Iceland went from being placed first in the world for freedom of expression (2007) to 9th (2009). It is time this trend was rectified. The goal of the IMMI proposal is to task the government with finding ways to strengthen freedom of expression around world and in Iceland, as well as providing strong protections for sources and whistleblowers. To this end the legal environment should be explored in such a way that the goals can be defined, and changes to law or new law proposals can be prepared. The legal environments of other countries should be considered, with the purpose of assembling the best laws to make Iceland a leader of freedoms of expression and information. We also feel it is high time to establish the first Icelandic international prize: The Icelandic Freedom of Expression Award. This proposal does not belong to any single group or party, but should be considered a joint project of all parliamentarians to find a harmonious tone of reconciliation in order to pull the nation out of these difficulties with something to achieve together. We have already been in touch with, and introduced the proposal to, various interest groups whom this new legislation package might affect, including industry, media and civil society. So far we have only received positive feedback from all levels. A keen interest has developed among the foreign press in relation to this legislative proposal, perhaps because all over the world the freedom to write news is increasingly being smothered. In their mind Iceland could become the anti-dote to tax havens: a journalism paradise. The suggestions in the proposal for a legislative package would transform the possibilities for growth in various areas. Iceland could become an ideal environment for Internet-based international media and publishers to register their services, start-ups, data centers and human rights organizations. It could be a lever for the economy and create new work employment opportunities. If this proposal became a reality it could improve democracy and transparency in Iceland, as firm grounding would be made for publishing, whilst improving Iceland's standing in the international community. |

| US Supreme Court To Consider Vaccination Lawsuit | ||
09 March 2010 US Supreme Court to consider vaccination lawsuit  A doctor is pictured preparing a vaccine. The US Supreme Court has agreed to consider whether the parents of a child who suffered serious health problems after being vaccinated can sue a pharmaceutical company for compensation. AFP - The US Supreme Court has agreed to consider whether the parents of a child who suffered serious health problems after being vaccinated can sue a pharmaceutical company for compensation. The case, which the highest US court will hear in autumn, will serve as a focal point in a years-long debate in the United States over the effectiveness of preventive vaccines and whether they have caused health problems. It involves Hannah Bruesewitz, who was left developmentally impaired after receiving a diphtheria, tetanus and pertussis vaccination. Her parents are challenging decisions by two Pennsylvania courts that rejected their attempts to seek compensation from US pharmaceutical laboratory Wyeth, which made the vaccine. The courts cited a 1988 law that prevents plaintiffs from seeking any "damages arising from a vaccine-related injury or death associated with the administration of a vaccine." But Bruesewitz's parents and the US Supreme Court noted a Georgia court ruling allowed parents to bring claims against vaccine manufacturers. "After exhausting administrative remedies in the vaccine program, children in Georgia who are injured by vaccines may bring design defect claims against vaccine manufacturers when the use of safer alternative vaccines could have avoided their injuries," the Supreme Court wrote in agreeing to consider the case. "By contrast, Hannah Bruesewitz and children like her... may be precluded from pursuing identical design defect claims even when the same safer alternative vaccines could have avoided their suffering too," it added. The Supreme Court also said that the Pennsylvania courts used an overly broad interpretation of the 1988 National Childhood Vaccine Injury Act and "improperly" ignored conditional language that would allow compensation claims. "By holding all vaccine design defect claims preempted, the Third Circuit (court) robs seriously-injured children and their parents of their right to seek compensation... when safer alternative vaccines would have prevented their injuries," the Supreme Court said. |
